The pw program can be used to do this.. But you will need to
write some scripts your self to use it...

I wrote a program in perl for a college to add accounts for
students to the system from a flat text file with comma
seperated fields...

If you interested I can give you that, it should be easy to
change it for your needs or maybe I can even do customize it
for you.. Anyway let me know if your interested...
